hair growth challenge...length check

So my plan is to gain 6" of length in 2011. I started out with about bsl (bra strap length) hair. I just did a length check today and have gained about 1.5". I have a lot of new growth so I figure by my next relaxer, I should see even more length. So far, it looks like almost 2 inches in the last 4 months. However for some reason I have some thinning in the center of the back of my hair. I'm not sure what caused it but I had to trim about 2 inches off. I probably need to trim off another inch, but I'll hold off for a while. I guess I am coasting to gain 4" instead of 6" this year :-(

Thanks Helen! I've been growing my hair for a while. My hair grows at the rate of about 1/2 inch every month. I just make sure to try and retain all my length by combing my hair gently, minimizing the use of heat and deep conditioning my hair weekly.
